Mode Time Cost
Bus 152 (public) 45-55 min VND 5,000-10,000 (~$0.20-0.40 USD)
Bus 109 (yellow airport bus) 45-60 min VND 20,000 (~$0.80 USD)
Bus 49 (express) 30-40 min VND 40,000 (~$1.60 USD)
GrabBike (motorbike taxi) 20-25 min 20-30% less than GrabCar
GrabCar (ride-hailing) 25-45 min VND 120,000-200,000 ($5-8 USD)

Bus 109 runs every 15 to 30 minutes, Bus 49 every 20 to 30 minutes, and Bus 152 every 15 to 20 minutes. All three are air-conditioned. GrabCar uses a designated pickup zone in the arrivals area; follow the green Grab signs. GrabBike is 20 to 30 percent cheaper than GrabCar and works well for solo travelers with light luggage. Private transfers are the priciest option but suit families and groups.

Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)

Noi Bai lies 25 to 35 kilometers north of Hanoi's city centre. The drive to the Old Quarter or Hoan Kiem Lake area takes 45 to 60 minutes in normal traffic. Official taxis and Grab operate 24/7 from both terminals. Express Bus 86 runs every 45 minutes from the arrivals halls of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 between 5:00 AM and 10:00 PM; other airport bus services depart every 20 to 30 minutes.

Mode Time Cost
